How it Works

LeafNut uses a TrunkNode central web server to communicate by GSM mobile phone to the BranchNode control units mounted in the light. The BranchNodes are in wireless communication with up to 256 LeafNodes, which are linked directly to an electronic ballast in each street light.

The system manages the light output, allowing the dimming of street lights to match specific requirements of a location at different times of night and uniquely provides light management individually, in groups or as a whole throughout the infrastructure. The programmable two-way process also gathers information regarding energy consumption and maintenance requirements.

If a BranchNode controlling a section of street lighting is damaged or knocked down, the associated LeafNodes will continue to operate as previously. The solution also provides the same level of security as Internet banking. The LeafNut remote monitoring system is interoperable and works with all WiMAC compatible CMS and AMS’ (Asset Management System).
